TW- Abusive relationship
Hey, so I just got out of a 9 month old relationship which was toxic and abusive, I was kinda hoping to talk to some woman who had similar experiences like mine, I’m a 21 year old girl, and it has been really hard, I’m kinda also ashamed of myself for still feeling love that person, and that the same time hate him, i understand going back isn’t the option at all and at the same time i miss him a lot and the good memories flood in and I miss the familiarity, it’s been confusing, it’s been a month since we broke up and he’s asking me back as well🧿
@raspberryBranch1257 Hello. I think the most important question here is: Do you come from an abusive home environment? Have you been rejected, neglected or mistreated before? If the answer is "yes", that can be the reason why a relationship with someone behaving in a toxic and abusive way may feel familiar to you.
In such a situation I believe it might be very important for you to improve your self-esteem and to remove from you the thoughts like "I don't deserve anything better". How would you like some work on that with a therapist?
